remote

remote

adj., adv. extremely far off or slight. Evidence may be so remote from the issues in a trial that it will not be allowed as "immaterial." An act which started the events which led to an accident may be too remote to be a cause, as distinguished from the "proximate cause." Example: While Doug Driver is passing a corner a friend calls out to him causing him to look away, and then Doug looks back and in the middle of the block is hit by a truck backing out of a driveway. The momentary inattention is not a cause of the injury, and is called a "remote cause." (See: immaterial, proximate cause)

remote

(Not proximate), adjective at a great dissance, distant, far, far-off, far removed, indirect, not immeeiate, remotus, removedAssociated concepts:remote cause, remote damagesForeign phrases: Id quod est magis remotum, non trahit ad se quod est magis junctum, sed e contrario in omni casu.That which is more remote does not draw to itself that which is more proximate but the contrary in every case.

REMOTE. At a distance; afar off, not immediate. A remote cause is not in
general sufficient to charge a man with the commission of a crime, nor with
being the author of a tort.
2. When a man suffers an injury in consequence of the violation of a
contract, he is in general entitled to damages for the violation of such
contract, but not for remote consequences, unconnected with the contract, to
which he may be subjected; as, for example, if the maker of a promissory
note should not pay it at maturity; the holder will be entitled to damages
arising from the breach of the contract, namely, the principal and interest;
but should the holder, in consequence of the non-payment of such note, be
compelled to stop payment, and lose his credit and his business, the maker
will not be responsible for such losses, on account of the great remoteness
of the cause; so if an agent who is bound to account should neglect to do
so, and a similar failure should take place, the agent would not be
responsible for the damages thus caused. 1 Brock. Cir. C. R. 103; see 3 Pet.

But proponents say remote sensing could dramatically reduce vehicle emissions by detecting the worst polluters - especially in the Los Angeles region, where more than 10 million cars and trucks clog the roads each day.

The TXR checked the radiance scales of blackbody sources used by the sea-surface remote sensing community to calibrate ship-based radiometers that validate satellite measurements of sea-surface temperature.

Communications is by far the best known and largest commercial use of satellites, but satellite images, or remote sensing, "is rapidly becoming the second genuine space-based business," reports Aviation Week & Space Technology.
